From the shores of Nnalubaale – Lake Victoria – were launched the deadly war canoes of Buganda. By the late 19th century, Buganda was the most populous place in Africa's interior, with man-made lakes, a well-ordered city, and envoys from all the surrounding people seeking the king's ear. And well they should – Bagandan raids were a terrifying force.

We speculated this would be the lake civ. So it is. (TBH I hope the Aztecs get a somewhat similar design in Exploration.)

Welp, there’s your lake civ. Aztec > Buganda may be a real pipeline in the future.

Also “Remember that OP social policy card in Civ 6?” the civ.

 

[Siptah]

Cultural and Expansionist with a focus on lakes, as expected. I'm surprised by the Commander and the focus on pillaging tiles though.
Sounds like a fun civ tbh, but probably one that I would rather choose by circumstances than actively going for it from the beginning (in contrast to e.g., Russia or Siam).

 

[Luxerne]

Looks like they use the same city styles as Mexico.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Kabaka's Lakes... So, do you build them on lake tiles? Adjacent to Lakes?

Unique Infrastructure​

Kabaka's Lake: Unique Improvement. Increased Happiness. Receives Lake yield bonuses, including yields for all Buganda's abilities and the Muzibu Azaala Mpanga Wonder.

Interesting how the unique improvement is affected by the associated wonder. I don't think any of the previous civs had anything similar.

FXS_queenpea when?

Whaaa?

Hopefully this is going to change once we have another Modern African civ. Even something unrelated like Moroccan mud-walled houses would make much more sense than the Mexican style.

Gilgamesh's post count is still so low that his threads get caught in the approval filter. I took care of it.

 

[Zaarin]

Buganda feels like a logical continuation of Songhai. Amina + Buganda promises to be scary.

Looks like they use the same city styles as Mexico.

Yeah, I'm a little confused by the art style of the city buildings. Lots of bay windows and Spanish colonial facades in Buganda.

 

[Bonyduck Campersang]

Still thinks it's ridiculous to have a tribal hut tomb as a Modern Age wonder

 

[Sagax]

Interesting how the unique improvement is affected by the associated wonder. I don't think any of the previous civs had anything similar.

This may be because the improvement adds a specific Terrain type, which I think has no precedent in the game yet. Although it’s not clear if it’s actual “terraforming”, or that the improvement can only be built on lakes. The former sounds more exciting for sure.

It could be from an older build; it wouldn't be the first time in the guides.
